When final we heard from Chuu, she tried her hand at a pleasing synthpop sound. This appears to be very in pattern for Okay-pop soloists, positioning them inside the international market whereas nonetheless sustaining the extra subdued vibe that’s taken maintain of the business’s woman group fare over the previous few years.
Like previous efforts, Solely Cry In The Rain is nice however very light-weight. The music takes no probabilities, preferring to ship an ethereal instrumental and delicate melody. Even the music video has a hazy movie excessive. There have been many tracks like this in Okay-pop just lately and I’m not fairly certain what to do with them. The music is objectively wonderful — a pleasing diversion that would soundtrack nearly any exercise. However with a lot ear-catching music being launched world wide each week, one thing like Solely Cry In The Rain can’t actually compete. I’m unsure it even needs to.
Like lots of Okay-pop’s solo releases, the music comes right down to Chuu’s enchantment as an idol. She isn’t given a lot room to showcase character right here, however if you happen to’re already a fan I think about simply listening to her voice will supply consolation and elevate the monitor’s candy, easy melodies. For everybody else, Solely Cry In The Rain will play properly within the second however doubtless get buried by dozens of competing releases because the weeks go on.
